Quoting Todd Miranda
What is your suggestion for how to get started learning the techniques used for this type of sculted moc? I love your animals and would love to work on some things like this. Where is a good place to start?

Todd, I think you need to get familiar of Lowell sphere of different size firstly! Of course, you need to do something that you like to build the most as your starting point. Please do not do something that is so complicated as it's too difficult to get the smooth contour with this technique. ^-^
